Notis

Keep grocery plans aligned with Slack decisions

When a message loses its approval reaction, Notis can rebuild the list from the items that remain approved in the conversation.

Trigger

Message Reaction Removed

Triggered when a reaction is removed from a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.

Action

Create Shopping List Page

Create a shopping list page on instacart + return shareable url. attempts prod first then falls back to dev; errors from prod bubble up if both fail.

Why this helps

A changed decision can leave a shopping list out of date unless someone notices and revises it.

  • Makes a changed approval visible in the shopping workflow
  • Helps avoid shopping from stale decisions
  • Reduces the manual effort of revisiting the plan

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Instacart to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to prepare a current Instacart list when the chosen approval reaction is removed from a grocery message.
  • 3Select Slack Message Reaction Removed and choose a channel for run reports.
  • 4Test by removing the agreed reaction from a real grocery message and reviewing the resulting list.

Questions about this workflow

Can removing the reaction edit an existing Instacart list?

What does this workflow help prevent?
